The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

This is great.

You know, once they have a general topic, they can go back and write a few specific articles first, memorize the articles thoroughly, and then go to the exam.

Even some rich and powerful families, such as a scumbag like Xu Er, can invite gunmen or masters to write a few articles for him, and then enter the examination room by reciting or entraining them!

Can this pass the exam?

Even Luo Wanhua, who was extremely confident in his strength, was dumbfounded.

He felt that all three views had been subverted.

Yan Song was even more annoyed and funny.

Li Zhi, what kind of god is this?I can blow myself up to the sky.

The examiner is sitting right behind you. I haven't given a question yet. How dare you say that you can guess the scope of my question?

Lu Bing, who was on the side, smiled sinisterly, and touched Yan Song: "You don't want to show up, and don't let people recognize you. Let's expose this liar's diorama later!"

Yan Song nodded.

After a while, the fun will be great.

Chapter 1066 Yan Song is so sweaty~~

Xiao Fengxian excitedly said: "Then please ask Dr. Li to tell us on the spot, how to bet on the title?"

Li Zhi was triumphant, and said solemnly: "This betting question is actually a technical task. Because there are various and strict restrictions on the questions of the Four Books and Five Classics in the imperial examinations of this dynasty, the chief examiner is left with free space. It’s not that big, so I’m confident that I can bet nine out of ten, and my guesses are pretty close to ten.”

Even Yan Song's expression softened when he heard this.

He knew that this li zhi was not just bragging, he was definitely a master who worked hard!

Li Zhi raised a finger: "First of all, there are only more than 1000 questions that can be selected for the Four Books Questions. The person who made the four books has to choose four questions from the Four Books.

The students nodded.

"Secondly, according to Emperor Hongwu's regulations, the questions of the Four Books and Five Classics cannot be repeated with those of previous years! No matter whether it is the general examination or the provincial examinations of each province, it cannot be repeated! This greatly reduces the scope of betting questions!"

Yan Song's eyes froze.

It really is.

Li Zhi smiled and said: "The imperial court stipulates that the examination questions cannot be repeated with those of previous years. If it is just the imperial examination itself, it is easy to say, but the trouble is that the Ming Dynasty has two capitals and thirteen provinces, and each township examination takes up 60 four-book questions. For more than 100 years since the founding of the country, there have been countless imperial examinations, general examinations, rural examinations, scholar examinations, and children's examinations. The Four Books and Five Classics are not enough, especially the Four Books. Mainly, don’t repeat the content of the local examination in the national examination for at least a few decades. Even so, the scope of the questions has been narrowed down a lot.”

Yan Song frowned.

What the hell.

This Li Zhi is a talent!

He is a master who worked hard to study the imperial examination system.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "If it's the low-level Xiucai Examination and Tongsheng Examination in various provinces, the people who write the questions are the prefects, county magistrates, and Xuezheng. The questions are ever-changing and almost endless. And the preface does not match the postscript, and sometimes it is completely incomprehensible. Therefore, the chance of crashing is smaller. Some people say that the entrance examination for children and scholars depends entirely on luck, and it is more difficult than the middle examination~¨ !"

Everyone in the audience laughed after passing five trials and beating six generals.

Intercepting questions is one of the wonders of the Four Books and Five Classics imperial examinations, and it is definitely a crooked path that drives the prefects and counties to nowhere.

What is an interception question?

The interception question is like this.The Ming Dynasty stipulated that the imperial examination must take the Four Books and Five Classics, and it cannot be repeated, but the Four Books have already been tested badly, and the prefects and counties are already busy enough, how to cope with it?

So, a certain genius came up with a trick to abuse dogs—let's take it!

Ancient Chinese has no punctuation marks.That is to say, after reading the Four Books, they are actually lumps, a long paragraph, and the sentences in the front and the sentences in the back are actually together.If you don't read carefully, or don't understand the meaning of the article, you will often miss the point.

A certain genius who wrote the question thought of it. I added the words of the previous sentence and the words of the next sentence together to make the question. Wouldn't it be repeated from previous years?

As for asking such a question, will it violate the rules?The author of the intercepted question is also confident. The court only stipulated that the scope of the examination questions is not allowed to publish the Four Books and Five Classics. Although I intercepted the upper and lower sentences, it is still the original text of the Four Books.

Take a question, no problem!

Even the court can't help it.

If you fail the exams of the Four Books and Five Classics, if you don't give up the questions, are you going to force the magistrates to hang themselves?

Therefore, with the acquiescence of the imperial court, intercepting questions quickly became a common practice in the low-level imperial examinations such as Tongsheng and Xiucai, and became the mainstream way of writing questions in one fell swoop.

Candidates are in pain.

The characteristic of the interception question is that it is pieced together randomly, and ninety-five do not match eight.But candidates must establish a relationship between them, which must be logical and explain the principles of Confucius and Mencius.This kind of question does not test the examinee's writing skills, but their imagination and imagination!

According to the scholars at that time, when writing questions at the beginning of the year, they often forcibly truncated sentence readings, broken scriptures and meanings, and inappropriately connected and interrupted.

The so-called "Life is like a dream, it all depends on your imagination, whether you win or not depends on your luck"!

Nima, this kind of cut-and-set question is completely nonsense, and I can't even understand it. How can I answer the question?

To what extent is this kind of interception and questioning tricks abusing dogs?

There is a particularly famous interception question in "Zhiyi Conghua". The title is "Is it human but not as good as a bird? The poem goes: King Mu Muwen"!

Candidates: ".々·····The person who wrote the question will come out to me, and I promise not to beat you to death!"

Parents of candidates are going crazy, I have a sentence that I must say!
